What Causes Weakness In The Right Shoulder After Recovering From Chikungunya?
I had chikungunya in 2010. Ever since my right shoulder and wrist have become weaker compared to left side. Will it stay permanently? I am 67yrs old. Does the virus stays permanently in various body joints? The case is more than 7 yrs old. I am withdrawing.
